I am loving that it is down. I just wish it would stay down for a bit longer so I can purchase a more silver coins I need for sets before having to pay more as the melt price rises. Oh well, I am sure it will be a bumpy ride.

I for one would like it to go back down more myself. I've bought many of the silver eagles and I've also bought silver bullion bars here and there also. I didnt think it would ever go up in price significantly and wish I had been hording a bit more than I have. When I was buying silver I was buying more or less with the mind set that I would eventually have enough volume to amount to something over time. If I recall correctly, when I was steadily buying silver as I could, it was never over $15/oz. So what I do have has significantly appreciated. If it goes back under $30/oz or lower I will be buying in significant quantities.
I am of the belief that with gold prices so high that it has priced many people, that were buying that as an investment, out of the market and they will flock more or less to silver which I hope will drive the price of it higher. It would appear that the 'Great Recession' as they are calling it now has brought some of that to fruition. I've already discussed with the wife about buying a few ounces a month or more unless it drops significantly and then it will be more than that.

I don't understand how it can go up and down in price nearly $5 a day. Back in 2001 you could buy an ounce for about $5 I thought. In watching the 24 hour kitco spot silver charts, it seems to go down in price during trading hours in the U.S., then gets good support the rest of the time.

High volatility suggests to me a speculative froth. Everyone wants to squeeze the last few percent out of the bull market, but no one wants to be left holding the bag.

It's dragging right @ $35/oz. If it punctures that hold price, could drop even more, but that's the breaks with the PM markets. Kill or be killed is the game...

Grab silver while the dip lasts. It's more volatile than gold (thinner market), but silver is a long-term winner with Ben Bernanke creating fiat FRNs by the trillions.

I am with most people here, I am mixed about it dropping. I am happy that I can get more now at a good price, but it makes what I have worth less for the time being.

Down to $34.04 now. I'd like to see it drop below $30. Makes it easier to buy some!

something to think about if you aren't planning on selling then how high it gets doesn't matter!! I wanted silver to go through the roof until I realized I have NEVER sold a coin in the 2 years I have been collecting if you avidly move your coins around and buy and sell then that's one thing but if not who cares how much your collection is worth, it isn't for sale

I agree. I don't have any intention of selling (other than maybe a few extras or doubles). Of course it is nice to have something collectible that is worth more as an asset, but I collect mainly for the enjoyment itself and the historical context rather than the value or an investment. I like being able to buy some more silver coins to complete sets and start new ones without having to pay a premium based on the volatile PM price. It is one thing to pay an premium based on the rarity or condition or variety of the coin, but I don't enjoy paying a higher price based on the cost of the metal it is made with. So in other words, silver can keep on dropping as far as I am concerned.

I have no intention of selling anytime soon, so I'd much rather see it drop. I'd like to be able to stock up some more...

I bought 1.5kg of silver last week at 34.40. It appears to be a dip to me, but should at least move back up and to the mid-40's again if it is going down. It's volatile enough that you can wait to get the price you want. If it goes below what I paid, I'll just hold it. I do sell coins from time to time, mostly upgrades and series that I've completed and no longer interested in. I think it's fun to make room for something new.
